Under the motto "Entrepreneurs as patrons", prominent figures from business, politics, culture and the church debated the topic of "Entrepreneurs as patrons. Limits and possibilities of entrepreneurial support for art and culture".

The International Martin Luther Foundation would like to thank the Deutschen Sparkassen- und Giroverband, Berlin, for its comprehensive support of the Luther Conference and the ceremony.

At the subsequent ceremony, the "LutherRose for Social Responsibility and Entrepreneurial Courage" was awarded to Jon Baumhauer.
